Block Chain and Big Data-Enabled Intelligent Vehicular Communication

IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, vol. 22, pp. 3904–3906

Abstract

In the last decade, the number of vehicles worldwide has increased every year, and this growth is projected to continue unabated. Thus, the congestions, incidents, and environmental pollution which are caused by the increasing number of road vehicles and traffics have resulted in hundreds of millions of losses and become a major challenge to the sustainable development of recent human society. Both academia and industry have already reached a consensus that vehicular communication is a vital element to extend the sensing ability of vehicles for ensuring safety driving. Unfortunately, current vehicular communication cannot meet the security, reliability, and effectiveness and other needs of ITS. The industry needs a more intelligent vehicular communication to support secure and reliable transmission of data. Therefore, the research community has to focus more on enhanced and completely new communication techniques.
